Construction job costing software
Know what every job is really earning.
Builder Trace gives contractors a cleaner way to track job costs across labor, subcontractors, materials, misc expenses, budget phases, payments, change orders, and live profit. Instead of waiting for spreadsheets to catch up, owners can open the dashboard and see which projects deserve attention.
Product experience
A financial command center contractors can actually work from.
Builder Trace presents job costing inside a polished dashboard and project workspace, so revenue, costs, payments, budget pressure, and profit stay visible without forcing owners into another spreadsheet.

Job costing should connect every financial move on the project.
Builder Trace is designed around the complete job financial picture: what the project is worth, what has been collected, what is still owed, what has been spent, and what the work is likely to produce.
Payments and collected revenue
Job costing is incomplete without receivables. Builder Trace connects paid, pending, overdue, and outstanding money to project profitability.
- Deposits and progress payments
- Overdue collection signals
- Outstanding balance awareness
Forecast and margin clarity
Use approved contract value, pending revenue, current costs, budget exposure, and change orders to understand where the project is headed.
- Projected revenue
- Projected costs
- Projected profit and margin
